Proverbs 26:8-18

8 He that binds up a stone in a sling, is like one that gives glory to a fool.
9 Thorns grow in the hand of a drunkard, and servitude in the hand of fools.
10 All the flesh of fools endures much hardship; for their fury is brought to nought.
11 As when a dog goes to his own vomit, and becomes abominable, so is fool who returns in his wickedness to his own sin. [There is a shame that brings sin: and there is a shame glory and grace.]
12 I have seen a man who seemed to himself to be wise; but a fool had more hope than he.
13 A sluggard when sent on a journey says, a lion in the ways, and murderers in the streets.
14 As a door turns on the hinge, so does a sluggard on his bed.
15 A sluggard having hid his hand in his bosom, will not be able to bring it up to his mouth.
16 A sluggard seems to himself wiser than one who most satisfactorily brings back a message.
17 As he that lays hold of a dog's tail, so is he that makes himself the champion of another's cause.
18 As those who need correction put forth words to men, and he that first falls in with the proposal will be overthrown;
